commercializing technologies has proven to be the winning strategy
this may have been presented during the trial
The part I do not understand: If you look at his resume that he was consulting Komag which became WD on how to implement such ideas which might not be even his:
"https://physik.univie.ac.at/news/news-detailansicht/news/professur-fuer-dieter-suess/
2006 Berater bei Komag (heute Western Digital) in San Jose (Kaliforinien) zur Unterstützung der Produktrealisierung des von ihm vorgeschlagenen Konzepts "Exchange Spring Medien" für Festplatten, das seit 2007 in kommerziellen Festplatten Verwendung findet
And then later files a law-suit against the same company, he consulted?
What kind of consultation is this?
appears the judge ruled on interest payment on top of the award
Corrupt and Incompetent Leadership!
loose the appeal, can add this atop the recent IRS settlement
